For many low-income students, a TI-84 calculator can unlock a world of opportunities, but the high cost often puts it out of reach. This calculator is more than a classroom tool; it’s a gateway to the future. It helps students conquer complex math and prepare for life-changing exams like the SAT and ACT. As the school year approaches, the most crucial item our students need is the TI-84 calculator. By donating a calculator through our Pack a Backpack initiative, you’re not just giving a piece of technology – you’re giving hope, possibility, and a chance at a brighter future. Each calculator donated is a step towards leveling the playing field, ensuring every student has the opportunity to succeed. Join us in making a profound difference.

“What has been the best part of mentorship? Everything. I feel grateful to have had the opportunity to be paired with such an amazing person and get to watch his journey unfold.” “I’ve loved seeing my mentee’s growth and having his sunny disposition add light to my life whenever I get to spend time with him.” “The best part has been listening to my mentee’s hopes and aspirations and plotting how they will be achieved!” This is just a glimpse of the feedback we constantly receive from mentors! Path to College is currently seeking over 40 dedicated mentors to guide and inspire our ambitious students. Learn more here!

Path to College is very grateful! Florida State Governor Ron DeSantis recently signed the FY2025 State Budget that included a $500,000 investment in the Path to College Catapult Youth Mentoring Center. This generous funding will allow for the purchase of the renovated building (and student technology) at 1213 Lake Avenue, a project made possible by Lake Worth Beach CRA. Special thanks to Representative Mike Caruso and Sen. Bobby Powell Jr., AICP for championing this important work! And Sean Pittman and Sam Peltier of Pittman Law Group for representing students in rooms they haven't been in yet. Catapult will be the Youth Mentoring Center students can walk to! We know that where kids go after school can affect where they go in life. Catapult is an expansion of a program that is halting generational poverty. It will be a free after-school center and welcoming space for homework help, college preparation, SAT preparation, project-based learning, one-on-one mentoring, career exposure, STEM pathways, and mental health support.
